Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is an argument between men and they go to law with one another, let the judges give their decision for the upright, and against the wrongdoer.
Kad nastane svađa među ljudima i dođu na sud da im se sudi, neka se dade pravo onome koji je prav, a krivac neka se osudi.
2 And if the wrongdoer is to undergo punishment by whipping, the judge will give orders for him to go down on his face and be whipped before him, the number of the blows being in relation to his crime.
Ako krivac zasluži da bude išiban, neka mu sudac naredi da legne i tu pred njim neka mu odbroje onoliko udaraca koliko odgovara njegovoj krivnji.
3 He may be given forty blows, not more; for if more are given, your brother may be shamed before you.
Do četrdeset udaraca može mu se dati, ali ne više, da modrica ne bi bila prevelika te se ne bi ponizio tvoj brat pred tobom kad bi mu udarali više udaraca.
4 Do not keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it.
Ne zavezuj usta volu kad vrše.
5 If brothers are living together and one of them, at his death, has no son, the wife of the dead man is not to be married outside the family to another man: let her husband's brother go in to her and make her his wife, doing as it is right for a brother-in-law to do.
Kad braća stanuju zajedno pa jedan od njih umre a da nije imao sina, žena pokojnoga neka se ne preudaje izvan kuće, nego neka k njoj pristupi njezin djever i uzme je sebi za ženu te izvrši djeversku dužnost.
6 Then the first male child she has will take the rights of the brother who is dead, so that his name may not come to an end in Israel.
A prvi sin koga ona rodi neka ostane na ime njegova pokojnoga brata da njegovo ime ne izumre u Izraelu.
7 But if the man says he will not take his brother's wife, then let the wife go to the responsible men of the town, and say, My husband's brother will not keep his brother's name living in Israel; he will not do what it is right for a husband's brother to do.
Ako, međutim, onaj čovjek ne želi da se oženi svojom snahom, onda njegova snaha neka dođe na vrata pred starješine i kaže: 'Neće djever moj da sačuva ime bratu svome u Izraelu; neće da mi učini djeversku dužnost.'
8 Then the responsible men of the town will send for the man, and have talk with him: and if he still says, I will not take her;
Neka ga pozovu starješine njegova grada i pitaju. Bude li uporan i kaže: 'Ne želim se njom ženiti',
9 Then his brother's wife is to come to him, before the responsible men of the town, and take his shoe off his foot, and put shame on him, and say, So let it be done to the man who will not take care of his brother's name.
neka njegova snaha k njemu pristupi na oči starješine pa mu skine s noge sandalu, pljune mu u lice i kaže ove riječi: 'Ovako se radi čovjeku koji neće da podigne doma svome bratu!'
10 And his family will be named in Israel, The house of him whose shoe has been taken off.
Taj neka se prozove u Izraelu 'Dom bosoga'.
11 If two men are fighting, and the wife of one of them, coming to the help of her husband, takes the other by the private parts;
Ako se dvojica potuku, pa žena jednoga pođe da izbavi svoga muža iz šaka onoga koji ga tuče i pruži ona svoju ruku i onoga uhvati za sram,
12 Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.
odsijeci joj ruku i neka je ne sažaljuje oko tvoje.
13 Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;
U torbi nemoj nositi dvojak uteg, veći i manji.
14 Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.
U svojoj kući opet nemoj držati dvojaku efu: veću i manju.
15 But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Neka ti je uteg potpun i točan i neka ti je efa potpuna i točna, da dugo živiš na zemlji koju ti daje Jahve, Bog tvoj.
16 For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.
TÓa Jahvi je, Bogu tvome, odvratan tko to čini, tko god čini nepravdu.
17 Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;
Sjećaj se onoga što ti je učinio Amalek dok ste bili na putu pošto ste izišli iz Egipta;
18 How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.
kako te dočeka na putu i pobi u tvom zaleđu sve nemoćne kad si bio umoran i iscrpljen jer se nije Boga bojao.
19 So when the Lord your God has given you rest from all who are against you on every side, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, see to it that the memory of Amalek is cut off from the earth; keep this in mind.
I zato kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, smiri od svih tvojih neprijatelja naokolo u zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu, izbriši pod nebom spomen na Amaleka. Ne zaboravi!
